and clarity of the information to be collected; and (5) how might the
Department minimize the burden of this collection on the respondents,
including through the use of information technology. Please note that

Payments.

Abstract: Borrowers who have defaulted on their Direct Loan or FFEL
Program loans may remove those loans from default through a process
called rehabilitation. Loan rehabilitation requires the borrower to
make 9 payments within 10 months. The payment amount is set according
to one of two formulas. The second of the two formulas uses the
information that is collected in this form. The form is being revised
to make it easier for borrowers to complete by either eliminating
unnecessary language or simplifying language already on the form.
Dated: March 6, 2017.

Acting Director, Information Collection Clearance Division, Office of
the Chief Privacy Officer, Office of Management.
